Summary

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel debate Formula 1's most exciting drivers' championship battles. From the 1950s to the modern day, these are the most thrilling and fractious title fights F1 has ever seen. Highlights include the 1994 contest between Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill, the 2007 season that very nearly saw a rookie Lewis Hamilton win the championship, and the combustible 2021 fight between Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
